I have been wanting to do this for litterally years. Ever since I watched Spenser for Hire and fell in love with the 65/66 fastback in the show. You did an amazing job! My question, we you an experienced body tech before attempting this or do you think a low skilled tech with high fabrication and welding skills could pull this off?
I know I’ve asked before but, what year donor car did you start with on this particular build and were you able to use the glass from the original door donor like on the convertible? did you just skin the door frame like on the convertible or with the roof changed out did you need to follow another process?
Grace and elegance are what make something appealing, delicate fine lines, gentle curves, whether it’s a woman or a looking at an E-Type Jaguar…one sits back and admires…the underlying core beauty. No doubt that build is epic and I want it. But, sticking a muscled gymnast into a tutu….. If the ongoing issue of thickness in such builds can be overcome, it would, I think be the perfect swap.
Did you have any problems with the tire hitting the fenders? Did it fit perfectly or you had to do some cutting? I live on the other side of the world and a 1969 mustang is a dream of mine ever since i was a child unfortunately we don’t have many here so I’m thinking about buying a 06+ mustang and order a 69 body and ship it here. And btw the car looks amazing well done truly a masterpiece 👍👏
40k in parts but what about labor? Three guys working, conservatively, 12 hours a day for 30 days is close 1100 man hours. Figure $150/hour, if you find a fabricator willing to do it for tlhat little, adds another $165k. Now I’m sure he doesn’t have that much in labor in it but the average diy guy, would between buying tools and hiring out stuff beyond their skill set, certainly would. I appreciate the breakdown but think that final number of $40k is extremely under reported.
WOW! What an amazing build! Being from that era of 1967-68 (I was 16 in 68), those have always been my favorite Mustangs. I did own a 68 notchback many years ago. It was a wreck and paid all of $400 for it. Spent a year fixing it (inline 6 with three speed), but sold it once I got it going. Of course, looking back now, I should have never gotten rid of it! But don’t we all say that? Again, great build, fun to watch you guys (before SEMA) building and and seeing the finished product!
Don’t get me wrong… I love your website. But you drive me nuts doing last minute SEMA builds every year. It’s amazing what you do in 30-60 days, but I would like to see what you could actually do in a year. Perfect the car. Do other content builds while you are waiting on parts. But do a year long SEMA build not being rushed to get finished. I have made comments before… You drive me nuts. I know what you are capable of, I want to see a project that you do that is not always rushed.
So glad this was done with the 67 Fastback Mustang look. I myself think it’s the best and meanest looking Mustang as the 68 toned it down just a tad and the 69 went with the more slick smooth look. This doesn’t mean i hate the 69 look at all. Matter of fact i love it but my order would be 67, 65, 69 when talking about Fastback mustangs. Looks then lighter weight with looks, then the heavier sexy 69.
Chris, did you ever see the “Volgatti” done by some talented dudes from Belarus? They use cnc cut building foam to make fiber glass molds. Might be a cool technique to look into also. Might be more efficient than 3d printing for more complicated/larger parts. Plus: the volgatti is just a cool build (albeit work in progress)
holy shit i have a 2019 bullit and want to do this so bad with a 68 bullitt replica. never thought id find such a 1 for 1 article lol . nice content AND its gotta be a 2019 + that you buy if you go manual(which is best)…..no auto rev match downshifting in 2018 and before. that feature is immeasurable !
That is the way to go for someone wanting a new Mustang GT. Classic look with that new car smell so to say. My first car was a 67 coupe. Bought it when I was 15 for 950 bucks. Kept it 10 years, had new rear quarter panels front fenders floor pan front and rear valance and a decent paint job. Looking back I wish I would have done a Shelby drop and added a 5 speed. I would have had a lot more fun with that. It didn’t handle the curves very well the way it was. This is a beautiful car, thanks for a good show.
Thanks for bringing this to SEMA for me to see. I appreciate the effort! 🙂 You made one mistake. You needed a sign on or at the car stating what it is. I explained to several people that this is a 2019 with a steel 1967 fastback body on it. That led to several discussions on how much (or little) of the 2019 is left and the amount of work accomplished to bring this to life. Loved seeing it and got the pictures! How much fun did you have getting back out of town, with the construction in progress for Formula One circus while you were departing?
Perhaps opting for a 5-axis CNC machine designed for 3D foam cutting could offer enhanced efficiency and speed compared to utilizing a 3D printer. Especially when the objective is to create a mold for fiberglass, this approach seems to be the optimal choice. While I’m not aware of the cost of your 3D printer, it’s conceivable that a 5-axis CNC machine falls within a similar price range. Foam boasts excellent dimensional stability, is resistant to warping, and is lightweight – making it an ideal material for crafting molds. Assuming you’ve thoroughly researched the options, would you consider trading your printer for a 5-axis CNC machine?
All of those pieces that you had laying around the shop whispered to be used this way 👍 Like a jest in your head that slowly turned into a solid vision. Sometimes ya just got to do it cuz you are so curious to see the outcome…. and because you can. This was very cool to see. The final car looks amazing and I’m sure it drives like a new car. 🙌👏👏👏
Watching this and now having a workshop of my own decked out with spare space for builds… I so wish I could do this. However, I’m in Australia and cutting the body structure even a little can get you practically thrown in jail in some states 😂🤣😂 So chopping off a whole body, and trying to register this would likely get you the death sentence 😂🤣😂 Ok, not really. But there’s absolutely no way you’d get this road registered.
Looks very cool. But I think after seeing it at Sema and your Vids, you really should spend some time getting the car stripped down, properly bodied, painted and maticulously detailing it. There are still a lot of mistakes with it, simply because it was rushed. I think you’re about 80% the way there. It will make it one of the greats.
Yes, it’s a lot of work, but it turned out so damn well…. Congrats on this! This makes it possible to get a daily driver with a cool look. I love those 67 shelbys, not caused by the movies alone. They have a wonderful line, proportion, and are timeless classics. The only bad thing is, if thieves think, its an old one, which are expensive, they will try to steal it…. Sop you have to mark the car as a newer Mustang….
Absolutely F”in amazing build and article. I have so many questions. LOL. The main question is will this ever be for sale or will you make more for sale? The ’19 is almost 4 inches wider. How did you steal 4 inches? Maybe part of that is just extra space for the ’19 mirrors? So maybe you are just 2″ difference and you could cut out enough inner body to make that work?
That’s an awesome build. I’d love to throw a Coyote into a 60’s mustang, which can be done much cheaper than this (and by much less capable people such as myself as well), but modern amenities is where it’s at in this stage of my life for a daily driver (which is what I’d do with this). I don’t care about a roll cage and fuel cell, I want AC and a backup camera, haha. I have an S550 and I agree, it’s an amazing car to daily drive. Would love that experience in an old body.
Just an idea. One of your first builds was the brz-frs-86 2jz swap and you also have done now how many LS and body swaps. So, with that being said, with your know how and you liking the v8’s, I was thinking maybe get a salvage Lexus RCF and body swap it with a MK4 supra. Just an idea. RCF should have been the new MK5 supra, just my thoughts.
So, if you actually do the proper math for this build. It’s somewhere around 60-70k. Since not everyone has a surplus of extra mustange parts lying around. If you add in the labor, (unless you do it yourself) you’re looking at least 150k. Specialty tools are needed for this (unless again, you already have these.) You’re looking at a whopping 300k. Far exceeding the 40k price this schmuk quoted.
I built a lamborghini uraco with parts i had lying around the workshop, so in total it cost me 300 bucks in parts to build a 2 million dollar car……. 😜- i dont get why you would add cost of free gifted jtems, but not the parts you would otherwise have to buy if you didnt already have them ‘lying around’ Nice build though 👌
I dont quite understand why people go to these kinds of extremes. If I had a 67 mustang or whichever and could do whatever i wanted I would probably get a suspension coil kit, brakes, motor rebuild, head swap, cam and some sort of holley fuel injection kit and a vintage air AC kit. I don’t understand the extreme of going to modern EVERYTHING in a vintage body.
Man I know how much work went into building that car. I’m no builder or anything like that just a auto enthusiast with an engineering degree. I just finished my total build of my 67 gt 500 I bought as a teenager in 1982. 18 months of pure hell, replaced all rusted panels, full frame, IRS rear suspension, pro-touring front suspension, (thanks to the roadster shop) mini-tubs shaved bumpers. I done some modern accents and interior, I hate chrome so all accent parts were done in satin black. I done most of the work myself w/ some help from my wife and daughter except for the paint and interior.(A mans gotta know his limitations) Top off with a 1000hp built aluminator w/ a Whipple & a T56. I’ve been wanting to do it for a long time just to see if I could, it’s just for me and my for my daughter when I’m outta here. (My son isn’t into cars he drives a Tesla. 🤮 I don’t consider that a car, more like a oversized phone charger) I’m only 57 so I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, she’ll have to wait awhile. I’ve always hated that Elenore look I think the 60s gt500 and the gt350 look way better. Good for you keep doing you.
You guys are so lucky living in a land where the Stang is created and lives. This is one dream machine I could watch all day. My wishlist from Santa. This same machine! That fusion of new base and the Eleanor body handcrafted so beautifully by your artisan team is a sight to behold. Wishing you guys all the good health so you wont stop making this beauty and bad boy!
This is a cool idea. If I ever became wealthy I would absolutely want to buy a newer mercedes sl or something similar, but put a gullwing slr 300 body on it. With a perfect blend of the modern and original on the custom interior. I would actually be willing to spend more on a car like that than any new super car.
“One of the materials we bought for this project cost $100, but we didn’t use all of it, so I’m gonna call it $30…”. This type of valuation goes on through his entire article. Plus he brushes aside the costs of parts he, “had laying around” as if they never costed him anything at one point. You can’t have it both ways. But he does this constantly throughout the article.
Was there ever a final outcome to the original B is for Build body swap mustang? When “She who shalt not be named” lost that copyright lawsuit last year, I heard that there was most likely going to be a class action case brought against her company by all the folks who’s replica cars they’d confiscated. Did that ever happen? And if so, did B is for Build get to be part of the collective p***ing out of her bonfire?
I’m surprised actual car companies are doing this considering they own the right to the original body designs. They do all these retro inspired looked like the Mustang, Camaro, Charger, but the modern styling takes away a lot of character from the original designs. This is a restomod done right, modern performance, handling, safety with old school design. Would love to collab on a design if you were ever interested.
🎉That is an Amazing car! Fabulous job meshing those 2 cars together, it came out absolutely perfect! I’d love to have this thing to drive around! I’ve always loved these Mustang Fastback Eleanor type cars! You just made one thats even better, having better suspension & electronics from the late model s550! Kick @ss, man!! 🔥🔥👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧📐🔩⛓️👨🏻🔧⚠️⚡💥💨🏎️🏁
Anyone perusal unless they are a moron has to appreciate your creativity and that of your team. What struck me was you actually disclosed your costs. You have created a one of one and that has to be factored in. Towards the end you gave comparisons with other years of cars. If you were to sell the car at auction, anyone wanting an exclusive car would have to pay a huge premium. Never underestimate the value of B is for Build.
You guys build amazing sema cars every year but maybe for the 2024 season, start a month earlier so you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars for last minute labour., Also, will you guys be keeping the wood panels or eventually making carbon fiber replacements? Im curious to see the weight difference between stock mustangs (both vintage and s550 gt) and yours
Should take that fuel cap on the rear out and replace it with a chrome bezeled brake light with the Mustang emblem either in chrome attached to the red lens, or just the Mustang emblem printed into the red lens. You’ve got that printer now, and could totally make them, and hell, reproduce and sell them.
i have a technical question for ya i own a 66 rag top mustang that i bought 30 some years ago and my tires stuck out alittle like your car i had a problem once in a while with coming home from the bars after downing a few with some beautiful plus size ladies and my rear quarters would rub the tires do you run into this problem or do you not drink lol
every corner of manufacturing has tooling and die wear and tear. they will do a production batch and try to make as much product as they can with the tooling. as the tooling wears out the form and shape of the parts change slightly this is why blueprinting engines is a thing. and it bleeds all the way down to when you buy reproduction parts.
